The FN FAL, short for Fusil Automatique Léger (light automatic rifle), is a selective-firebattle rifle produced by the Belgian arms manufacturer Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FN). This rifle has been more widely used by armed forces than any other rifle in history.

The FN FAL is an all-around, selective-fire rifle. In comparison to the older AK-112, it sacrifices some range (though still maintaining a reasonable 35 hexes of it) for an edge in damage, especially against medium-armored enemies. Its main weakness is arguably the low magazine capacity which allows only 2 bursts per reload. Though many vendors carry the 7.62mm round, the amounts sold are often small, so scarcity of ammunition can be a problem.

The night-sight gives this FN FAL the advantage of the Night Vision perk. Aiming in the dark isn't changed from doing it in daytime. It also allows aiming accurately in caves.
